Be it known that. PETER S. S'rrznxsrnop, a t'itizon of the United Status. rvsiding tit 83 Ridgowood uvenuv. Newark r-ounty of Essex. State of Nmi' Jersey, h-tivo invontvd l-m'tznin new and usoful lniprovoinunts in Roii-lilounting for Rtiiivr-iiozu'ings, fully dosz'rihod nnd roprvsontvd in tin following spoviticntion and the n?- couip-imying drawings, forming a part. of tho SZUHL.

Tho olijocts of tho prosent invention are partly to furnish a (heap (-onstrut-tion for the roiim' guide used in bearings hnvirn, n-nti-iiivtion rolls, and partly. to hold tin writs of rolls together Whcni'omovod from tho/heming. and tin-so ohjuvts illt nttninod by forming shoot nu-tul ll('2.(i$ with morti s stnmpvd at suitable intervals, and ('(ltilllt'illlg iiit sumo by tin-liars staunpod with intvgrnl touons ndnpu-d to tit lilt' nnu't isos; to ho rivott'd tin-ruin.

Tho hossvs nnd (lnrv turmoil zit sut'h adistzime apart. that aim rolls just (iv-Jr one anutiior. hut tho groups of bosses rznnd rt are sopmntod more widviy: so as to admit tiohnw u hotvn-nn tho [Wt oups of rolls.

iiootanguiar hulos or lih ftisfsj shown in the heads of the center of the bond. and no fiiu'ud outwardly as shown in Fig. 3, and tho tlC-hlll'b a llilv squared tonons g upon their ends titted to the huh-s f. and avt-nml thvrnin by riveting the uutoi' ends of rho tunons upon the nutorside of the head.

The tie-liars with their square tvnons are readily formed at at single operation by stamping from sheet metal with a suita'oitpunch and div. and such tie-bars 2h ('hoapr-r than those formed of round rods with tenons milled upon the fitKiS to form a shoulder. s as to hold the breadth of the tie-burs radially; that is, at right angina to the pvriphoi'y of tho hood, and the tin-bars thus ovvupy tho least possiblo spatto between the adj-{wont rolls.

'lh riveting of tho tonons swoils thvir outer ends to tilt tin. flared links. and the howls are thus held tognthor with Sillllfltilll strength. The length of the tin-hurts is manic such that the ends of tho rolls slightly chm the inner sidt'n oi the bonds, and the rolls are thus adnptod t o ttllll J'rvoly upnli'the iionsos. while the heads and tiodmrs hold nlLt-he rolls in piiu-v, so that when removed from the homing they are readily handiod as aunit. I

'lhousr of shoet metal, oxt'lusivoly. furnishes a very vlwnp t'onstiuvtion tor the hoadn and tie-bars, and as roller guides are often made Without bosses to engage the ends of the rolls, the construction may therefore be employed in making such roller guides.

The parts of the cage are formed wholly of sheetnnztul, which are entirely shaped by stamping dies, and the structure is thus chean to manufacture while very durable in its character.

I am aware that head for roller guides have been constructed with it stud to support each guide, but such studs are commonly insertvd in the heads, which requires accurate drilling of thv hvads and tilting of the studs, and noovssitatos the making and use of inany plot'us for ouch guide. By the use of sheet uietalwhich is rolled smoothly in thoprooess of manufacture, the

heads and stud constitute nuiy 2, single piece, and I an] enabled to stamp the studs directly upon the heetis at a single operation, thus forming the n integral; with the heeds and of suitahleshape and finish to guide the rolls. withQ-ut any machine work. 'I do not therefore claim bwaciiy a roller guide having studs to fit the ends of rolls, but the sheet metal construction which is (i0- scribed herein.

Having thus set, ibrth the nature of the invention what is claimed herein is: The roll-mounting, for roller bearings for rolls arranged number of hoiidw bosses l and r1 ripen its inner time and asset? the bosses arranged in two groups at. opposite sides of the center. with greater spaces between the groups than between the bosses in the groups. lind the heads having the rectangular nio'rtises f therethrough at pposiw sides of the center midway between the groups, the series of-roils (1 having' sqckets l in their opposite ends fitted in two groups to the bosses :i and II, and the iiat sheet-metal tiebm's' r having fiat rectangular teuons g titted to the rectauguiur mnrtises I. and riveted therein, and thereby held radially between the two groups of rolls, substantially as herein set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
